The founder of a second 'Trump Burger' restaurant in Texas has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) and is accused of being in the U.S. unlawfully, according to The Houston Chronicle.

ICE arrested Iyad Abuelhawa, who founded the 'Trump Café' in Bellville, northwest of Houston, in October 2016, on June 2 and is holding him in a Montgomery County detention facility, reports the newspaper. One of the Trump Café's flagship products was the Trump Burger, later the name of a restaurant chain in Texas.

According to ICE, Abuelhawa, who they said was an Israeli born Jordanian citizenship, has been in the U.S. illegally since a judge ordered his deportation in September 2009. However, Abuelhawa's attorney reportedly denied this and said he is a stateless Palestinian.
